Riverfide   Press  : 

Reprinted  by  Henry  O.  Houghton, 

Cambridge. 


THE  two  hundred  and  ninety-five  pages  which 
follow  this  brief  introductory  notice  comprise  a 
literal  reprint  of  the  whole  of  that  curious  little  met- 
rical volume  known  to  antiquaries  as  the  Bay  Psalm 
Book,  and  to  bibliographical  writers  and  scholars  as 
the  New  England  Version  of  the  Psalms,  and  which 
was  very  early  in  use  by  our  New  England  fore- 
fathers as  the  New  England  Psalm  Book.  In  the 
reproduction  of  this  quaint  volume  every  word,  every 
letter,  and  indeed  every  point  has  been  sedulously 
collated  with  a  perfect  impression  of  the  original 
work    struck   at  Cambridge    in    the    year  1640. 

We  are  informed  by  the  distinguished  annalist  of 
New  England,  the  Reverend  Mr.  Thomas  Prince  of 
Boston,  that  "  The  first  settlers  of  the  New  Eng- 
land colonies, — who  came  to  Plymouth  in  1620,  to 
Salem  with  three  ministers  for  the  Massachusetts  and 
one  for  Plymouth  in  1629,  and  with  the  Massachu- 
setts charter,  governor,  deputy-governor,  assistants, 
four  ministers,  and  fifteen  hundred  people  to  Boston 
and  the  neighboring  towns  in  1 630,  —  were  esteemed 
in  England  as  some  of  the  most  eminent  for  Scrip- 
ture   knowledge,    piety,    and    strict    adherence    to    the 


IV 

word  of  God  as  any  in  their  day.  They  wisely  made 
the  Divine  oracles  the  only  rule  of  their  religion  ;  and 
their  great  and  noble  design  was  to  spread  the  holy 
kingdom  of  Christ  in  its  Scripture  purity,  light,  and 
power  in  this  new  world,  and  to  set  up  churches  for 
their  matter,  form,  worship,  liberty,  watch,  govern- 
ment, and  discipline,  as  near  as  possible  to  what  they 
were  under  the  conduct  of  inspiration  in  the  Apostles 
days."  These  finding  themselves,  in  the  accomplish- 
ment of  their  designs,  much  in  need  of  Scriptural 
melodies  for  their  private  religious  meetings  and  for 
the  worship  of  God  upon  the  Lord's  day,  several  of 
the  most  distinguished  of  their  pious  and  learned  min- 
isters, as  early  as  the  year  1636,  began  to  prepare  a 
metrical  version  of  the  Psalms  and  other  sacred  writ- 
ings to  appropriate  metre,  retaining  as  nearly  as  pos- 
sible the  exact  meaning  of  the  inspired  originals.  By 
the  year  1640  the  Psalms  were  versified  ;  and,  under 
the  supervision  of  the  Reverend  Mr.  Richard  Mather 
of  Dorchester,  the  Reverend  Mr.  Thomas  Weld  and 
the  Reverend  Mr.  John  Eliot  of  Roxbury,  persons  em- 
inently qualified  for  the  purpose,  as  being  well  ac- 
quainted with  the  Hebrew  and  Greek  languages,  they 
were  immediately  prepared  for  the  press.  During  the 
same  year,  the  printing  was  executed  by  Mr.  Stephen 
Daye,  at  Cambridge,  in  a  manner  that  certainly,  as 
far  as  press-work  is  concerned,  was  highly  creditable 
to  the  craft  of  the  infant  colony.  In  those  days, 
however,  text-books   on   punctuation  were  not   in  the 


V 


hands  of  compositors,  nor  were  there  skilful  persons 
near  to  revise  the  proofs,  consequently  there  was  no 
great  minding  of  stops  observed  ;  and  commas,  sem- 
icolons, and  full-points,  were  miscellaneously  distrib- 
uted, with  very  little  regard  to  propriety.  The 
running-titles  of  the  book,  as  may  be  seen  by  exam* 
ination  of  the  reprint,  would  greatly  astonish  the 
youngest  apprentice  of  a  modern  printing-office.  For 
instance,  to  the  preface  the  running-title  is,  on  the 
left-hand  page,  "  The.",  with  a  full-point  after  it  ; 
and,  on  the  right-hand  page,  "  Preface."  For  the 
remainder  of  the  book  the  compositor,  for  some 
unknown  and  unimaginable  reason,  used  the  word 
PSALM  on  every  even  page,  and  P  S  A  L  M  E 
(spaced)  on  the  odd  pages.  The  divisions,  which  a 
modern  printer  is  so  extremely  careful  about,  are 
oftentimes  as  bad  as  they  can  be,  monosyllables  be- 
ing divided  at  the  ends  of  lines  with  hyphens,  and 
not  unfrequently  polysyllables  divided  without  them. 
The  book  had  no  folios  on  the  corners  of  the 
pages,  making  it  difficult  to  find  the  Psalms  as  read- 
ily as  could  be  desired.  Thus  appeared  the  first 
book  printed  in  America,  not  reckoning  as  such 
what  Daye  had  printed  in  the  previous  year,  name- 
ly, the  Freeman's  Oath,  and  an  Almanac  for  New 
England. 

The  second  edition  of  the  New  England  Version 
was  printed  in  a  volume  of  300  pages,  crown  octavo, 
in  1647,  with  slight  amendments  in  phraseology;  after 


VI 

which  President  Dunster,  of  Harvard  College,  with  the 
assistance  of  Mr.  Richard  Lyon,  a  gentleman  of  parts, 
attempted  a  more  thorough  version,  which  was  duly 
completed  and  printed  in  a  volume  of  308  pages, 
also  in  crown  octavo,  in  1650.  In  this  last  form, 
the  preparation  of  which  required  the  labor  of  about 
three  years,  the  book  was  so  favorably  regarded,  that 
it  was  not  only  the  version  in  general  use  in  New 
England,  but  was  also  preferred  by  many  of  the  con- 
gregations in  England,  where  it  was  used  as  late  as 
the  year  1 7 1 7.  In  the  year  1758,  Rev.  Thomas 
Prince,  the  annalist,  published  a  revised  and  im- 
proved edition,  to  which  he  added  a  collection  of 
hymns  on  several  important  subjects  having  a  devo- 
tional bearing. 

These  Psalms  from  time  to  time  were  changed 
and  amended  in  phraseology,  and  were  for  many 
years  in  use  in  New  England,  —  but  in  such  an  al- 
tered form  that  they  probably  could  not  be  recog- 
nized as  such   without  much  study. 

Before  closing  this  notice  one  word  is  due  the 
printer  ;  for  without  it,  he  may  appear  to  some  as 
having  been  very  negligent  in  correcting  his  forms,  or 
the  editor  must  be  stigmatized  as  a  very  poor  proof- 
reader. Indeed,  so  exact  and  faithful  has  the  com- 
positor been  in  following  the  original  copy,  that  the 
bad  spacing,  omission  of  spaces,  irregular  justification, 
bad  divisions,  broken  type,  letters  inverted,  mixed 
lower  case  letters  with  italics,  and  typographical  errors, 


Vll 


are  strictly  reproductions  of  the  printer's  errors  of  the 

olden  time.     Let  the  reader,  then,  give  to  the  printer 

the  credit  justly  his  due  ;   for  in  this  instance   he   has 

produced  a  reprint,  such  as  a  reprint  of    curious    old 

books  should  be.

The  Preface. 

THe  ringing  of  Pfalmes,  though  it  breath  forth 
nothing  but  holy  harmony,  and  melody :  yet 
fuch  is  the  fubtilty  of  the  enemie,  and  the  enmity 
of  our  nature  againft  the  Lord,  &  his  wayes,  that 
our  hearts  can  finde  matter  of  difcord  in  this  har- 
mony, and  crotchets  of  divifion  in  this  holy  me- 
lody .-for-  There  have  been  three  queftios  especi- 
ally ftirrlg  cocerning  ringing.  Firft.  what  pfalmes 
are  to  be  fung  in  churches?  whether  Davids  and  o- 
ther  fcripture  pfalmes,  or  the  pfalmes  invented  by 
the  gifts  of  godly  men  in  every  age  of  the  church. 
Secondly,  if  fcripture  pfalmes,  whether  in  their 
owne  words,  or  in  fuch  meter  as  englifh  poetry  is 
wont  to  run  in?  Thirdly  "by  whom  are  they  to  be 
fung?  whether  by  the  whole  churches  together 
with  their  voices?  or  by  one  man  finging  aloe  and 
the  reftjoynig  in  filece,&  in  the  clofe  faylg  amen. 
Touching  the  firft,  certainly  the  finging  of  Da- 
vids pfalmes  was  an  acceptable  worfhip  of  God, 
not  only  in  his  owne,  but  in  fucceeding  times,  as 
in  Solomons  time  2  Chron.  5.  13.  in  Iehofa- 
phats  time  2  chron.  20.  21.  in  Ezra  his 
time  Ezra  3.  10,11.  and  the  text  is  evident 
in  Hezekiahs  time  they  are  commanded  to 
fing  praife  in  the  words  of  David  and  Afaph, 
2  chron.  29,  30.  which  one  place  may  ferve 
to  refolve  two  of  the  queftions  (the  firft  and  the 
laft)  at  once,  for  this  commandement  was  it  ceri-

The. 

moniall  or  morall?  fome  things  in  it  indeed  were 
cerimoniall,  as  their  muficall  inftruments  &c 
but  what  cerimony  was  there  in  finging  prayfe 
with  the  words  of  David  and  Afaph?  what  if  Da- 
vid was  a  type  of  Chrift,  was  Afaph  alfo  ?  was 
every  thing  of  David  typicall?  are  his  words 
(which  are  of  morall,  univerfall,  and  perpetuall 
authority  in  all  nations  and  ages)  are  they  typi- 
call ?  what  type  can  be  imagined  in  making  ufe 
of  his  fongs  to  prayfe  the  Lord  ?  If  they  were  ty- 
picall becaufe  the  cerimony  of  muficall  inftru- 
ments  was  joyned  with  them,  then  their  prayers 
were  alfo  typicall,  becaufe  they  had  that  ceremo- 
ny of  incenfe  admixt  with  them  :  but  wee  know 
that  prayer  then  was  a  morall  duty,  notwithstand- 
ing the  incenfe;  and  foe  finging  thofe  pfalmes  not- 
withstanding their  muficall  inftruments.  Befide, 
that  which  was  typicall  (as  that  they  were  fung 
with  muficall  inftruments,  by  the  twenty-foure 
orders  of  Priefts  and  Levites.  i  chron  25.  9.)  muft 
have  the  morall  and  fpirituall  accomplifhment  in

ringing  Davids  pfalmes  be  a  morall  duty  &  ther- 
fore  perpetuall;  then  wee  under  the  new  Teftamet 
are  bound  to  ring  them  as  well  as  they  under  the 
old:  and  if  wee  are  exprefly  commanded  to  fing 
Pfalmes,Hymnes,  and  fpirituall  fongs,  then  either 
wee  rauft  ring  Davids  pfalmes,  or  elfe  may  affirm 
they  are  not  fpirituall  fongs:  which  being  penned 
by  an  extraordiary  gift  of  the  Spirit,  for  the  fake 
efpecially  of  Gods  fpirtuall  Ifraell;  not  to  be 
read  and  preached  only  (as  other  parts  of  holy 
writ)  but  to  be  fung  alfo,  they  are  therefore  moft 
fpirituall,  and  {till  to  be  fung  of  all  the  Ifraell  of 
God :  and  verily  as  their  fin  is  exceeding  great, 
who  will  allow  Davids  pfalmes  (as  other  fcrip- 
tures)to  be  read  in  churches  (which  is  one  end) 
but  not  to  be  preached  alfo,  (which  is  another  end 
foe  their  fin  is  crying  before  God,  who  will  al- 
low them  to  be  read  and  preached,  but  feeke  to 
deprive  the  Lord  of  the  glory  of  the  third  end  of 
them,  which  is  to  fing  them  in  chriftian  churches, 
obj.  1  If  it  be  fayd  that  the  Saints  in  the  primi- 
tive Church  did  compile  fpirituall  fongs  of  their 
owne  inditing,  and  ling  them  before  the  Church. 
iCor.  14,    1  £,  16. 

Arif.  We  anfwer  firft,  that  thofe  Saints  compiled 

thefe  fpirituall  fongs  by  the  extraordinary  gifts  of 

*     3  the 


The. 

the  fpirit  (common  in  thofe  dayes)  whereby  they 
were  inabled  to  praife  the  Lord  in  ftrange  tongu- 
es, wherin  learned  Paraus  proves  thofe  pfalmes 
were  uttered,  in  his  Commet  on  that  place  uers  14 
which  extraordinary  gifts,  if  they  were  ftill  in  the 
Churches,  wee  mould  allow  them  the  like  liberty 
now.  Secondly,  fuppofe  thofe  pfalmes  were  fung 
by  an  ordinary  gift  (which  wee  fuppofe  cannot  be 
evicted)  doth  it  therefore  follow  that  they  did 
not,  &  that  we  ought  not  to  fing  Davids  pfalmes? 
muft  the  ordinary  gifts  of  a  private  man  quench 
the  fpirit  ftill  fpeaking  to  us  by  the  extraordin 
ary  gifts  of  his  fervant  David?  there  is  not  the 
leaft  foot-ftep  of  example,  or  precept,  or  colour 
reafon  for  fuch  a  bold  praclife. 
obj.  2.  Ministers  are  allowed  to  pray  conceived 
prayers,  and  why  not  to  fing  conceived  pfalmes  ? 
muft  wee  not  fing  in  the  fpirit  as  well  as  pray  in 
the  fpirit  ? 

dns.  Firft  becaufe  every  good  minifter  hath  not 
a  gift  of  fpirituall  poetry  to  compofe  extempora- 
ry pfalmes  as  he  hath  of  prayer.  Secondly.  Sup 
pofe  he  had,  yet  feeing  pfalmes  are  to  be  fung  by  a 
joynt  confent  and  harmony  of  all  the  Church  in 
heart  and  voyce  (as  wee  fhall  prove)  this  cannot 
be  done  except  he  that  compofeth  a  pfalme,  bring 
eth  into  the  Church  fet  formes  of  pfalmes  of  his 
owne  invetion;for  which  wee  finde  no  warrant  or 
prefident  in  any  ordinary  officers  of  the  Church 
throughout  the  fciptures.  Thirdly.   Becaufe 

the  booke  of  pfalmes  is  fo  compleat  a  Syftem  ot 

pfalmes 


Preface. 

pfalmes,  which  the  Holy-Ghoft  himfelfe  in  infin- 
ite wifdome  hath  made  to  fuit  all  the  conditions, 
neceffityes,  temptations,  affections,  &c.  of  men 
in  all  ages;  (as  moft  of  all  our  interpreters  on  the 
pfalmes  have  fully  and  perticularly  cleared)  there 
fore  by  this  the  Lord  feemeth  to  ftoppe  all  mens 
mouths  and  mindes  ordinarily  to  compile  or 
fing  any  other  pfalmes  (under  colour  that  the 
ocafions  and  conditions  of  the  Church  are  new) 
&c.  for  the  publick  ufe  of  the  Church,  feing,  let 
our  condition  be  what  it  will,  the  Lord  himfelfe 
hath  fupplyed  us  with  farre  better;  and  therefore 
in  Hezekiahs  time,  though  doubtleffe  there  were 
among  them  thofe  which  had  extraoridnary  gifts 
to  compile  new  fongs  on  thofe  new  ocafions,  as 
Ifaiah  and  Micah  &c.  yet  wee  read  that  they  are 
commanded  to  fing  in  the  words  of  David  and 
Afaph,  which  were  ordinarily  to  be  ufed  in  the 
publick  worfhip  of  God  :  and  wee  doubt  not  but 
thofe  that  are  wife  will  eafily  fee;  that  thofe 
fet  formes  of  pfalmes  of  Gods  owne  appoynt- 
ment  not  of  mans  conceived  gift  or  humane 
impofition  were  fung  in  the  Spirit  by  thofe  ho- 
ly Levites,  as  well  as  their  prayers  were  in 
the  fpirit  which  themfelves  conceived,  the 
Lord  not  then  binding  them  therin  to  any 
fet  formes  ;  and  fhall  fet  formes  of  pfalmes 
appoynted  of  God  not  be  fung  in  the  fpirit  now, 
which  others  did  then  ? 

Quefton.  But  why  may  not  one  copofe  a  pfalme 
&  fing  it  alone  with  a  loud  voice  &  the  reft  joyne 

with 


The. 

with  him  in  filence  and  in  the  end  fay  Amen? 
Ans.  If  fuch  a  practife  was  found  in  the  Church 
of  Corinth,  when  any  had  a  pfalme  fuggefted  by 
an  extraordinary  gift;  yet  in  finging  ordinary 
pfalmes  the  whole  Church  is  to  ioyne  together 
in  heart  and  voyce  to  prayfe  the  Lord,  -for- 
Firft.  Davids  pfalmes  as  hath  beene  mewed, 
were  fung  in  heart  and  voyce  together  by  the 
twenty  foure  orders  of  the  muficians  of  the  Tern 
pie,  who  typed  out  the  twenty  foure  Elders  all 
the  members  efpecially  of  chriftian  Churches  Reu 
5.  8.  who  are  made  Kings  and  Priefts  to  God 
to  prayfe  him  as  they  did :  for  if  there  were 
any  other  order  of  ringing  Chorifters  befide 
the  body  of  the  people  to  fucceed  thofe,  the 
Lord  would  doubtlefTe  have  given  direction 
in  the  gofpell  for  their  qualification,  election, 
maintainance  &c.  as  he  did  for  the  muficians  of 
the  Temple,  and  as  his  faithfullnes  hath  done  for 
all  other  church  officers  in  the  ntw  Teftament. 

Secondly.  Others  befide  the  Levites  (the  chiefe 
Singers) in  the  lewifh  Church  did  alfo  fing  the 
Lords  fongs;  elfe  why  are  they  commanded  fre- 
quently to  fing:  as  in  pf.  100,  1,2,3.  pf  95,  x'2'3-

as  alfo  that  wee  are  not  alway  in  a  futable  eState 
to  the  matter  fung,  &  likewife  that  all  cannot  fing 
with  understanding;  mall  not  therefore  all  that 
have  underftanding  ioyne  in  heart  and  voyce  to- 
gether ?  are  not  all  the  creatures  in  heaven,  earth, 
feas :  men,  beaSts,  fifhes,  foules  &c.  commanded 
to  praife  the  Lord,  and  yet  none  of  thefe  but 
men,  and  godly  men  too,  can  doe  it  with 
fpirituall  understanding  ? 

As  for  the  fcruple  that  fome  take  at  the  tranf- 
latio  of  the  book  of  pfalmes  into  meeter,  becaufe 
Davids  pfalmes  were  fung  in  his  owne  words 
without  meeter:  wee  anfwer-  Firft-  There  are 
many  verfes  together  in  feveral  pfalmes  of  David 
which  run  in  rithmes  (as  thofe  that  know  the  heb- 
rewand  as  Buxtorf  mews  Tkefau.  pa.  629.)  which 
mews  at  leaSt  the  lawfullnes  of  Singing  pfalmes  in 
engliSh  rithmes. 

Secondly.  The  pfalmes  are  penned  in  fuch 
verfes  as  are  futable  to  the  poetry  of  the  hebrew 
language,  and  not  in  the  common  Style  of  fuch 
other  bookes  of  the  old  TeStament  as  are  not 
poeticall;  now  no  proteStant  doubteth  but  that 
all  the  bookes  of  the  fcripture  Should  by  Gods 
ordinance  be  extant  in  the  mother  tongue  of  each 
nation,  that  they  may  be  understood  of  all,  hence 
the  pfalmes  are  to  be  tranflated  into  our  eng- 
liSh  tongue;  and  if  in  our  engliSh  tongue  wee  are 
to  fing  them,  then  as  all  our  engliSh  fongs  (accord 
ing  to  the  courfe  of  our  englifh  poetry)  do  run  in 
metre,  foe  ought  Davids  pfalmes  to  be  tranflated 

into 


Preface. 

into  meeter,  that  foe  wee  may  fing  the  Lords 
fongs,  as  in  our  englifh  tongue  foe  in  fuch  verfes 
as  are  familar  to  an  englifh  eare  which  are  com- 
monly metricall :  and  as  it  can  be  no  juft  offence 
to  any  good  confcience  to  fing  Davids  hebrew 
fongs  in  englifh  words,  foe  neither  to  fing  his 
poeticall  verfes  in  englifh  poeticall  metre :  men 
might  as  well  ftumble  at  finging  the  hebrew 
pfalmes  in  our  englifh  tunes  (and  not  in  the  he- 
brew tunes)  as  at  finging  them  in  englifh  meeter, 
(which  are  our  verfes)  and  not  in  fuch  verfes  as 
are  generally  ufed  by  David  according  to  the  po- 
etry of  the  hebrew  language  :  but  the  truth  is,  as 
the  Lord  hath  hid  from  us  the  hebrew  tunes,  left 
wee  mould  think  our  felves  bound  to  imitate 
them;  foe  alfo  the  courfe  and  frame  (for  the  moft 
part)  of  their  hebrew  poetry,  that  wee  might  not 
think  our  felves  bound  to  imitate  that,  but  that 
every  nation  without  fcruple  might  follow  as  the 
graver  fort  of  tunes  of  their  owne  country  fongs, 
foe  the  graver  fort  of  verfes  of  their  owne  count- 
ry poetry. 

Neither  let  any  think,  that  for  the  meetre 
fake  wee  have  taken  liberty  or  poeticall  licence 
to  depart  from  the  true  and  proper  fence  of 
Davids  words  in  the  hebrew  verfes,  noe;  but  it 
hath  beene  one  part  of  our  religious  care  and 
faithfull  indeavour,  to  keepe  clofe  to  the 
originall  text. 

As  for  other  obieclions  taken  from  the  diffi- 
culty of  Ainfworths  tunes,  and  the  corruptions  in 

*  *    2  our 


The. 

our  common  pfalme  books,  wee  hope  they  are 
anfwered  in  this  new  edition  of  pfalmes  which 
wee  here  prefent  to  God  and  his  Churches.  For 
although  wee  have  caufe  to  bleffe  God  in  many 
refpecls  for  the  religious  indeavours  of  the 
tranflaters  of  the  pfalmes  into  meetre  ufually  an- 
nexed to  our  Bibles,  yet  it  is  not  unknowne  to 
the  godly  learned  that  they  have  rather  prefented 
a  paraphrafe  then  the  words  of  David  tranflat- 
ed  according  to  the  rule  2  chron.  29.  30.  and 
that  their  addition  to  the  words,  detractions  from 
the  words  are  not  feldome  and  rare,  but  very  fre- 
quent and  many  times  needles,  (which  we  fup- 
pofe  would  not  be  approved  of  if  the  pfalmes 
were  fo  tranflated  into  prole )  and  that  their 
variations  of  the  fenfe,  and  alterations  of  the 
facred  text  too  frequently,  may  iuftly  minifter 
matter  of  offence  to  them  that  are  able  to  com- 
pare the  translation  with  the  text ;  of  which  fail- 
ings, fome  iudicious  have  oft  complained, 
others  have  been  grieved,  wherupon  it  hath  bin 
generally  defired,  that  as  wee  doe  inioye  other, 
foe  (if  it  were  the  Lords  will)  wee  might  inioye 
this  ordinance  alfo  in  its  native  purity  :  wee  have 
therefore  done  our  indeavour  to  make  a  plaine 
and  familiar  tranflation  of  the  pfalmes  and  words 
of  David  into  englifh  metre,  and  have  not  foe 
much  as  prefumed  to  paraphrafe  to  give  the  {enfe 
of  his  meaning  in  other  words;  we  have  therefore 
attended  heerin  as  our  chief  guide  the  originall, 
muning  all  additions,  except  fuch  as  even  the  beft 

translators

tranflators  of  them  in  profe  fupply,  avoiding  all 
materiall  detractions  from  words  or  fence.  The 
word  V  which  wee  tranflate  and  as  it  is  redun- 
dant fometime  in  the  Hebrew,  foe  fomtime 
(though  not  very  often)  it  hath  been  left  out, 
and  yet  not  then,  if  the  fence  were  not  faire 
without  it. 

As  for  our  tranflations,  wee  have  with  our 
englifh  Bibles  (to  which  next  to  the  Originall 
wee  have  had  reipect)  ufed  the  Idioms  of  our 
owne  tongue  in  ftead  of  Hebraifmes ,  left 
they  might  feeme  englifh  barbarifmes. 
Synonimaes  wee  ufe  indifferently:  as  folk  for  peo 
pie,  and  Lord  for  Iehovah,  and  fomtime  (though 
feldome)  God  for  Iehovah;  for  which  (as  for 
fome  other  interpretations  of  places  cited  in  the 
new  Teftament)  we  have  the  fcriptures  authority 
pf.  14.  with  53.  Heb.  1.  6.  with  pfalme  97.  7. 
Where  a  phrafe  is  doubtfull  wee  have  followed 
that  which(in  our  owne  apprehenfio)is  moft  genu 
ine  &  edifying  : 

Somtime  wee  have  contracted,  fomtime 
dilated  the  fame  hebrew  word,  both  for  the 
fence  and  the  verfe  fake :  which  dilatation 
wee  conceive  to  be  no  paraphrafticall  addition 
no  more  then  the  contraction  of  a  true  and  full 
translation  to  be  any  unfaithfull  detraction  or  di- 
minution :  as  when  wee  dilate  who  healeth  and 
fay  he  it  is  who  healeth ;  foe  when  wee  contract, 
thofe  thatjiand  in  awe  of  God  and  fay  Gods  fearers.

more  full  and  emphaticall  Signification  then  any 
one  englifh  word  can  or  doth  fomtime  expreffe, 
hence  wee  have  done  that  fomtime  which  faith- 
full  translators  may  doe,  viz.  not  only  to 
tranflate  the  word  but  the  emphafis  of  it;  as 
/K     mighty    God,    for    God.  *p3    kumbly 

blejfe  for  blejfe ;  rife  to  ft  and,  pfalm  l .  for  ft  and 
truth  and  faithfullnes  for  truth.  Howbeit,  for  the 
verfe  fake  wee  doe  not  alway  thus,  yet  wee  ren- 
der the  word  truly  though  not  fully ;  as 
when  wee  fomtime  fay  reioyce  for  fliout 
for    ioye . 

As  for  all  other  changes  of  numbers, 
tenfes,  and  characters  of  fpeech,  they  are 
fuch  as  either  the  hebrew  will  unforcedly 
beare,  or  our  englifh  forceably  calls  for, 
or  they  no  way  change  the  fence ;  and 
fuch  are  printed  ufually  in  an  other 
character. 

If  therefore  the  verfes  are  not  alwayes 
fo  fmooth  and  elegant  as  fome  may  defire 
or  expect ;  let  them  confider  that  Gods 
Altar  needs  not  our  pollifhings :  Ex.  20.  for 
wee  have  reflected  rather  a  plaine  transla- 
tion, then  to  frnooth  our  verfes  with  the 
fweetnes  of  any  paraphrafe,  and  foe  have 
attended  Confcience  rather  then  Elegance, 
fidelity  rather  then  poetry,  in  translating 
the  hebrew  words  into  englifh  language, 
and       Davids     poetry      into     englifh    meetre ;

Blefled  man,that  in  th'acivice 
of  wicked  doeth  not  walk: 
nor  ftand  in  finners  way,nor  fit 

in  chayre  of  fcornfull  folk. 
But  in  the  law  of  Iehovah, 

is  his  longing  delight: 
aud  in  his  law  doth  meditate, 

by  day  and  eke  by  night. 
And  he  mail  be  like  to  a  tree 

planted  by  water-rivers: 
that  in  his  feafon  yeilds  his  fruit, 

and  his  leafe  never  withers. 
And  all  he  doth,  fhall  profper  well, 

the  wicked  are  not  fo: 
but  they  are  like  vnto  the  chafFe, 

which  winde  drives  to  and  fro. 
Therefore  fhall  not  ungodly  men, 

rife  to  ftand  in  the  doome, 
nor  fhall  the  finners  with  the  juft,

For  of  the  righteous  men,  the  Lord

but  the  way  of  vngodly  men,

my  neere  freind  or  mine  owne  brother:

1 5  But  they  in  mine  adverfity 
rejoyced,  &  they  gathered

themfelves  againft  mee  gathered; 
And  I  was  ignorant  hereof-^ 

and  they  unceafantly  mee  teare, 

1 6  With  hypocrites,  mockers  in  feafts ;

but  in  their  thoughts  they  doe  invent

within  my  heart,  the  feare  of  God 
is  not  before  his  eyes. 

2  For  in  his  eyes  he  fooths  himfelfe: 

his  fin  is  found  meanewhile

iniquity  &  guile:

he  hath  not  ill  hated.

FRet  not  thy  felfe  becaufe  of  thofe

that  work  iniquitie. 

2  For  like  unto  the  grafTe  they  fhall

who  profpers  in  his  way, 
Nor  at  the  man,  who  brings  to  pafTe 

the  crafts  he  doth  devife.

14  The  wicked  have  drawne  out  their  fword, 

&  bent  their  bowe  have  they, 
to  caft  the  poor  &  needy  downe, 
to  kill  th'upright  in  way.

and  their  lot  is  for  aye. 

19  Neither  fhall  they  afhamed  bee 

in  any  time  of  ill: 
and  when  the  dayes  of  famine  come, 
they  then  fhall  have  their  fill. 

20  But  wicked,&  foes  of  the  Lord 

as  lambs  fat  fhall  decay: 
they  fhall  confume:yea  into  fmoake 
they  fhall  confume  away.

2 1  The  man  ungodly  borroweth, 

but  he  doth  not  repay: 
but  he  that  righteous  is  doth  fhew 
mercy,&  gives  away. 

22  For  fuch  as  of  him  blefTed  bee, 

the  earth  inherit  fhall, 
and  they  that  of  him  curfed  are, 
by  cutting  downe  fhall  fall. 

23  The  foot-fteps  of  a  godly  man

eftablifhed:  &  alfo  hee 
delighteth  in  his  way.

2^1  have  been  young  &  now  am  old;

27  Depart  from  evill,&  doe  good:

28  Becaufe  the  Lord  doth  judgement  love, 

his  Saints  forfakes  not  hee; 
kept  ever  are  they:  but  cut  off

29  The  juft  inherit  fhall  the  land, 

and  therein  ever  dwell. 

30  The  juft  mans  mouth  wifdome  doth  fpeak  ,

31  The  law  of  his  God  is  in's  heart: 

none  of  his  fteps  flideth.

doth  of  Iehovah  come:

that  are  moft  troublefome. 

40  Yea,help  &  free  them  will  the  Lord:

21  The  Lord  heard,  he  was  wroth  for  this, 

fo  kindled  was  a  fire 
'gainft  Iacobr&'gainft  Ifraell 
there  came  up  wrathfull  ire. 

22  For  they  in  God  believed  not: 

nor  in  his  health  did  hope:

&  doores  of  heav'n  fet  ope:

The  volume  popularly  known  as  the  "Bay  Psalm  Book  "  was 
printed  at  Cambridge,  Massachusetts,  by  Stephen  Daye,  in  1640,  and 
is  the  first  book  printed  in  British  America. 

Isaiah  Thomas,  in  his  "History  of  Printing,"  gives  an  account  of 
this  book,  not  without  errors,  however,  as  he  had  never  seen  a  perfect 
copy.  His  description  of  the  title-page,  for  instance,  is  that  of  an 
entirely  different  book,  published  several  years  later.  He  makes, 
too,  the  further  mistake  of  describing  the  book  as  a  small  octavo. 
Lowndes  follows  Thomas  as  to  the  title,  but  quotes  Dr.  Cotton  as 
to  the  quarto  form.  Cotton  mentions  the  book  as  in  the  Bodleian 
Library,  calling  it,  "The  Psalms  in  Metre,  4to,  no  place,  no  name, 
1640,"  and  gives  a  specimen  in  his  appendix,  being  ignorant  evidently 
of  its  origin.  Other  bibliographical  writers  have  perpetuated  the  errors 
of  Thomas  and  Lowndes.  All  however  agree  as  to  the  extreme  rarity 
and  value  of  the  book;  Lowndes  saying,  "This  volume,  which  is 
excessively  rare,  and  would  at  an  auction  in  America,  produce  from 
four  to  six  thousand  dollars,  is  familiarly  termed  the  '  Bay  Psalm 
Book.' " 

The  Rev.  Thomas  Prince,  who  once  owned  the  copy  now  offered 
for  sale,  and  who  published  in  175S  a  revised  and  improved  edition 
of  the  book,  says  in  his  preface,  "By  1636  there  were  come  over 
hither  near  thirty  pious  and  learned  ministers,  educated  in  the  uni- 
versities of  England  ;  and  from  the  same  exalted  Principle  of  Scrip- 
ture, Purity  in  Religious  Worship,  they  set  themselves  to  translate  the 
Psalms  and  other  Scripture  Songs  into  English  Metre,  as  near  as 
possible  to  the  inspired  Original.  They  committed  this  work  espec- 
ially to  the  Rev.  Mr.  Richard  Mather  of  Dorchester,  the  Rev.  Mr. 
Thomas  Weld,  and  the  Rev.  Mr.  John  Eliot,  of  Roxbury,  well 
acquainted  with  the  Hebrew,  in  which  the  Old  Testament,  and  with 
the  Greek,  in  which  the  New,  were  originally  written.  They  finished 
the  Psalms  in  1640,  which  were  first  printed  by  Mr.  Daye,  that  year, 
at  our  Cambridge." 

An  exact  reprint  was  published  in  1862,  by  C.  B.  Richardson  of 
New  York,  from  the  copy  now  offered  for  sale,  with  a  preface  by  the 
late  N.  B.  Shurtleff,  M.  D.,  who  owned  the  volume  and  superintended 
the  work. 

The  history  of  this  copy,  so  far  as  known,  is  this.  Originally  the 
property  of  one  of  its  authors,  the  Rev.  Richard  Mather,  (whose  well- 
known  autograph  it  contains  in  many  places,  declaring  it  to  be  '  His 


Booke,')  the  little  volume  subsequently  came  into  the  hands  of  the 
Rev.  Thomas  Prince,  the  friend  and  disciple  of  Cotton  Mather,  Rich- 
ard's grandson.  By  Prince  it  was  made  a  part  of  his  famous  New- 
England  Library,  as  appears  by  his  book-plate,  itself  a  rarity,  upon  the 
reverse  of  the  title-page,  as  follows  : 

This  Book  belongs  to 
The  New-England-Zz'^rtf/^/, 

Begun  to  be  collected  by  Thomas  Prince, 
upon  his  entring  Harvard-College,  July  6, 
1703  ;  and  was  given  by  faid  Prince,  to 
remain  therein  for  ever. 

This  Library  was  bequeathed  to  the  Old  South  Church  by  Prince's 
will,  dated  Oct.  2d,  1758,  and  from  that  time  till  i860,  the  book  re- 
mained in  the  custody  of  the  deacons  and  pastors  of  that  church.  In 
that  year  it  was  given  by  the  church,  through  the  proper  agents,  to 
the  late  Nathaniel  Bradstreet  Shurtleff,  M.  D. 

After  Dr.  Shurtleff's  death,  the  volume  was  catalogued  with  the  rest 
of  his  library,  by  Mr.  Leonard,  and  would  have  been  sold  Dec.  2d, 
1875,  but  for  an  injunction  obtained  by  the  deacons  of  the  Old  South 
Church  at  that  time.  Since  then  the  matter  has  been  heard  by  the 
Supreme  Judicial  Court  of  Massachusetts,  the  injunction  dissolved, 
and  the  book  adjudged  to  belong  to  Dr.  Shurtleff's  estate,  which  is 
thus  able  to  give  to  a  purchaser  a  clear  and  undisputed  title. 

This  copy  is  in  the  original  binding,  old  calf,  and  is  absolutely  per- 
fect as  regards  the  printed  matter,  though  a  small  portion  of  the  mar- 
gin of  the  title-page  and  part  of  the  blank  space  on  the  page  of  errata 
have  been  cut  out.  There  is  not  probably  in  the  world  a?iother  copy  in 
this  condition.  The  fact  that  this  is  a  veritable  Author's  Copy,  gives 
it  an  additional  interest  and  value. 

The  collation  is  as  follows :  Title-page  with  ornamented  border, 
verso  blank,  with  Prince's  book-plate  pasted  upon  it ;  Preface,  twelve 
pages,  and  seven  lines  at  the  close  printed  shortening  at  each  end  on 
the  thirteenth  page,  the  fourteenth  being  blank.  "The  Psalmes  "  be- 
ginning on  page  "A"  which  follows,  two  hundred  and  seventy-eight 
pages,  the  last  containing,  after  the  word  ''Finis,"  fifteen  lines  headed, 
"An  admonition  to  the  reader  "  ;  Errata,  one  page,  verso  blank.  At  the 
head  of  every  left  hand  page,  except  two,  the  word  "PSALM"  is 
spelled  in  the  modern  fashion,  and  on  the  opposite  page  it  is  spelled 
"PSALM  E"  (spaced).  The  volume  is  without  folios,  but  has  sig- 
natures and  catchwords  throughout.  Size  of  page,  six  and  seven- 
eighths  inches  by  four  and  one-half  inches.
